    The Butler Bulldogs will beat VCU.....guarantee....guarantee...

    remember george mason? final four is different than the previous rounds. VCU wont hit their 3's, butler knows how to win regardless of outside shooting. im predicting this before the VCU/Kansas game even ends, but i am assuming VCU hangs on to win. butler will most likely win by 8-10 points

    VCU will win it all
    They are playing the best ball in the tournament
    Butler would not have beat Kansas

    Give Smart one week to prepare for Butler + VCU should be able to rebound which will give them a huge edge that they havent had in 3 games

    I agree with the play, but what does George Mason have to do with this game?

    vcu is george mason all over again. as soon as everybody gets on them, which is the final 4 and a much larger stage than they have been on up until this point, they will lose. and probably handily. shelvin mack will absolutely school joey rodriguez and i would love to see them try to run zone against butler. brad stevens will pick them apart

    No one will be on VCU - everyone is jumping on Butler just like USC, Georgetown, Purdue, FSU, and Kansas

    The line will be Butler -4.5/5 by the end of the week

    man i love this site. it's like a crystal ball. no matter what you think you think, bernanke, you think vcu will win. if that makes sense. or you at least think they will cover. but they will not. butler will win in a convincing fashion. but good luck

    VCU will NOT dominate the glass against Butler. Kansas, Pitt, and ODU couldnt do it so no way VCU does it. Butler will slow VCU down and win the game. Not sure by how many though

    I have bet against Butler every round of the NCAA Tournament for the last two years and I'm not about to start now. VCU sped up Kansas, they can speed up Butler. Matt Howard is nice but can he guard Jamie Skeen out on the perimeter? He's gonna go skeen skeen skeen skeen on Butler.

    Butler is the much more experienced team and should take care of VCU.

    This is a toss up. If the line is 4-5, give me the points all day. You have to figure VCU's shooting will come back to earth eventually, but I thought that would happen Fri or today too.

    whoa, i still can't believe kansas lost!

    well since it is becoming nearly a coin flip, the more RATIONAL people would pick Butler ML and Uconn +2...

    But in this crazy world where i thought Kansas AND OSU would contend for the championship the guys who overthrow the contenders are definitely vying to become champion. so therefore these are the correct picks:

    VCU +2.5 and
    UK -130

    This makes perfect sense in the Insomniac Zombie Cannibal Basketball World where VCU and UK are .... uhh.. zombie cannibals.. who have ravaged their enemies, eaten their brains, and gained their strength/wisdom.

    if you defeat #1 then you ARE #1.
    yes, it makes perfect sense!
    (well, technically Butler did take down PITTS but for the sake of this "argument" it doesn't count.)

    perfect sense, i tell you!!!!!



    [edit: but now that my head's more clear UCONN does have a 1 game history with UK last November where they defeated them 84-67 ... yes, this makes it more scary to bet UK.. a lot more scary.. but it still makes sense!]

    I actually spend time looking at the team and how they play - your post was about as clear as my sh*t after taco tuesday

    Its guys like you that gave me a 27-1 final four future in the sweet 16!!!

    And my 80-1 is sitting there waiting for VCU to shock the world and buy me a new porsche

    This isnt some joke or trying to be cute -- they will win the 2011 NCAA Championship and you can wipe my a$$ with your USC. Georgetown, Purdue, FSU, Kansas, Butler and UCONN/ Kentucky slips

    I don't think it matter who has been here before. VCU knocked off what most everyone thought would NCAA champion this year. Yes Butler knocked of Pitt but there is no way they deserved a 1 seed. Maybe a 2-3. Though I am not trying to take away how big of a win it was for then. I went to Butler for a few semesters. but VCUs win over kansas was huge. I think I like VCU here. Love to see an 11 seed in the finals. Well we will either have an 8 or 11. Definitely didn't expect that.

    I'm taking Butler at +375 to win the title. Not that I necessarily think they will win it all, but I do believe they will beat VCU so for me, that's +375 in the title game and a hedge opp. Brad Stevens with a whole week to prepare = solid. Guy does more with less than any coach. Shaka Smart is showing to be a solid coach, but if VCU doesn't hit threes ... their chances of winning diminish greatly. Butler D is pretty solid vs. 3 point shooters. Butler also crafts each game differently whereas VCU plays their style, period and it either works or doesn't.

    butler +375 does have great value though i see them being kemba'd in the finals. i cant believe how many people hopped on UK so fast, remember when they almost lost to princeton? i didnt trust uconn in the last game but the young guys proved to me they can step up

    Well seeing as how Butler has gone 9-1 in the tourney the last 2 years, I assume you're a poor man.
